McDonald's Deploys First Plug-in Car Charging Station

// July 5th, 2009 // Eco, Local (Raleigh Durham), Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Here’s an eco-friendly article that has a local twist. The first McDonald’s in the whole franchise worldwide to have charging stations for electric cars / hybrid plugins is opening in our backyard — but it’s not in Chapel Hill where you’d think, but rather in Cary, NC. The owner of this specific franchise is also building the new McDonald’s restaurant with eco-friendly materials. While I doubt this will mean we’ll be seeing a McDonald’s with a bunch of Tesla Roadsters sitting in the parking lot, it’s a step in the right direction and I hope more restaurants, retail and office complexes will follow suit.
